Bitta Nonsense for your Monday morning... Following in @Joker1 steps once again..
1. Shore [Sydney Church of England Grammar School]
You respect tradition more than anyone else, and rugby is a right of passage, not a sport. You would have grown up hearing about legacy and maybe even having rugby mentioned in a few of the sermons at chapel. Your fierce drive to keep the winning streak alive is the stuff of legend, and you probably think it's totally normal to wear a blazer in 30-degree heat.
2. The King's School
A King's rugby player carries the kind of swagger which springs from knowing his school boasts one of the most decorated rugby histories. Big, tough, and with the spirit of your school running as deep as your competitive nature-if you played rugby at King's, you have been thoroughly and rigorously trained in how to tackle hard since Year 7 to ensure the continuation of your school's proud rugby dynasty.
3. Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview
For Riverview, the rugby is as much about team spirit as it is about skill. You may adopt a more philosophical approach to the game, mixing in the Jesuit principles with the art of scrummaging. You're probably known for intense passion on the field, but with the coaches reminding you that good sportsmanship is every bit as important as winning.
4. St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill - Joeys
You come from a school where rugby is not only a sport, but a religion. Not only are the players of Joeys known for their dedication and allegiance to the school, but in the fullest capacity possible, the first XV has overwhelming support. If you're on that team, the pressure to keep that good reputation of the school in terms of rugby is immense; nevertheless, the brotherhood that forms will never leave you. The chants, the energy. it's like rugby-fuelled euphoria.
5. Sydney Grammar School
Rugby's probably not the focus at Grammar, but you play with heart nonetheless. If you're on the rugby team, you could be used to being underestimated, but pride's had in how you challenge that stereotype. Of course, you're acing math and Latin, too, but you do have something to prove on the field. Bonus points if during scrum, you've made a quick-witted, intellectual reference.
Rugby at Newington is all about diversity. You're that player who juggles academics, music, and rugby practices. You're in a competitive squad, always challenging for the top tier, with a culture that's all about grit and good vibes. And you feel included-whether your running on with the first XV or playing thirds, it's about pulling on those Blacks and Whites.
7. The Scots College
If you play rugby at Scots, you are probably considered the ultimate AAGPS athlete. The reputation of Scots rugby precedes itself, and with that comes some pretty heavy expectations: you've got strength, you've got intensity, and the expectation is that you will dominate. You enjoy the finest facilities and coaches to go with it, and you don't play to just win-you play to dominate. From the haka pre-match to celebrating the win at the Highland Games, everything is just so big in Scots rugby.
8. Sydney Boys High
But being one of the couple of public schools in the AAGPS, you've got a different sort of determination. You may not have the same rugby pedigree, but you're scrappy and tough, and there's an underdog mentality that keeps you pushing. Most likely you would be used to doing double duty in academics and sports and take pride in representing your school in an environment dominated by private school teams.
9. TAS (The Armidale School)
You are from a more rural, close-knit community as a TAS rugby player. Rugby is competitive, but it's almost a family affair, and you play with a real sense of pride on and off the field. You've no doubt made some of those lengthy bus rides to match up against other AAGPS schools, but that just makes the wins even sweeter.
Yours in sporting reason, A sane observer
